Flame-retardant alloys.
Gigapress forming.
Ruggedized coatings.
Engineered together, Estes is rebuilding the industrial base for exceptional products derived from magnesium alloys and manufacturing processes. From raw materials to final form, fit & function — all under one roof.
Made here in the USA.
Our Magnesium Thesis
Estes has been quietly innovating across all aspects of this incredible material: flame retardant alloys, an automotive scale forming process, and a multi-layer coating. Together, Estes is building a domestic manufacturing capability for large format magnesium components - built in the USA.
What is the Levius Process?
Estes' proprietary Levius™ process is an end-to-end manufacturing and coating process for magnesium components. It integrates three steps: Estes' flame retardant MgCarbonit™ alloy mixing process, giga-thixomolding, and application of a multi-layer, protective coating that unlocks magnesium for high-voltage cell-to-pack battery architectures. Estes is growing its portfolio of patents pending and trade secrets which cover Levius™ processes, materials, and manufacturing recipes.
How does giga-thixomolding differ from conventional magnesium die casting?
Can Magnus™ integrate next-generation cell chemistries without an architecture redesign?
What certifications will the Magnus™ platform obtain?
Where is the Magnus™ platform manufactured, and what are its domestic content credentials?
